An American Icon turns 50
By
Getting that first Barbie wrapped in a pink box is a right of passage. I can remember my first Barbie all too well. She had hair all the way down to her toes, and I dressed her in black bicycling shorts with a green and pink shirt. So much to say for my fashion sense at nine-years-old but Barbie had so many clothes that it was hard to put one outfit with another.
CD Review: Peter Bjorn and John "Living Thing"
By
It's amazing how certain things can grow on you. In most cases, it's a wonderful experience. I'm talking mostly about the act of listening to a record that, at first listen, can completely annoy the hell out of you, only to later become a favorite. That's a big habit of mine, which makes the act of reviewing a new record difficult because by time I really "feel" the music, it's old.
Movie Review: "Trigger Man" Misses Its Target By a Country Mile
By
Trigger Man isn't really a horror movie so much as a film about people walking without saying anything. There are many scenes in this movie in which people walk without saying a word.

Debbie Bowick sits in the same place on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Where is this place, and who is this person? This place is the outside area of the Jaguar Student Activities Center. It is decorated with brick flooring and large windows that peer into the inside world of the cafeteria.
Zingo provides a safe way home after a long night

Put the keys back in your pocket, pick up the phone and call Zingo. A new company in Augusta is keeping people safe on the roadways by providing a solution to drunk driving. The grand opening of Zingo, Augusta's newest transportation service, was March 21 by owners Travis Gamble and Turner Simkins.
A Day in the Life Take Back the Night
By
"No means no" was one of the more common messages on the t-shirts, but there were dozens of other stories hanging from clothes lines on the History Walk for Take Back the Night. Some were informative, and others were more passionate, but all were compelling.
Supervisor migrates from the Big Apple to the Garden City
By
The transition from owning a sign company in Long Island, N.Y., to working in a university cafeteria can be an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. Just ask Cindy Scott. Scott, who was always interested in advertising, found herself working for a food service company in New York.
First experience at golf's prestigious course is a blast
By
Cigars, club sandwiches and grass are some of the things I experienced at the 2009 Masters during the first day of practice rounds. On Monday, April 7, I ventured out on a chilly and windy day. Earlier that morning, I heard rain outside my window and thought that the day was going to be a total washout, but thankfully, the sun appeared.
